Book Description

Oct 13 2005

TV's Chef Michael Smith shows how cooking without recipes makes for stress-free kitchen adventures.

Chef at Home Chef Michael Smith welcomes readers into his home kitchen where he encourages home chefs to cook with -- and without -- a recipe. Packed with simple and delicious meals, this cookbook offers kitchen insight and a culinary adventure on every page.

Chef Michael Smith has cooked professionally for more than 20 years. In Chef at Home, the companion cookbook to his hit Food Network series, Smith emphasizes simple, stress-free cooking. In his house, every meal is an opportunity to have fun and experiment with flavors.

Aspiring home cooks will learn from Smith's professional cooking secrets. Experienced home cooks will appreciate his open, creative approach. Everyone will love the book's simple, healthy flavors and the tips on personalizing each dish. Recipes include:

  • Country Inn Pancakes
  • Maritime Clam Chowder
  • Rosemary Vanilla Chicken
  • Mac and Cheese with Lobster.

This book is meant to be ripped, oil-stained, accidentally burnt, and deliberately written on. It works best in the kitchen -- not on the coffee table.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recipes are Easy and Outstanding Dec 22 2005
By A Customer
One of the things I have appreciated most about the approach that Smith takes in this book is the fact that he repeatedly invites and encourages would-be chefs to experiment and get creative in the kitchen, with both quantities and ingredients alike. As he states from the outset, the recipes included are merely guidelines. Nevertheless, if one follows the recipes as he has them so beautifully laid out, the reults are nothing less than scrump-diddily-icious! This book is highly recommended for those who don't have a lot of time to prepare meals, but still desire freshness, outstanding taste, health, and good dose of culinary joy. One warning however: I've only had my copy for about a month, and already the pages are starting to separate from the spine. But then, I've used it many times over the past 30 days too . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple and great tasting home cooking April 21 2006
By A Customer
I love how Michael Smith teaches and encourages young cooks to experiment with food and try new things. His enthusiasm for food is definitely contagious and creates an inviting atmosphere in which people can learn to have fun in the kitchen.

And last but not least, his recipe for chocolate chip cookies is the best one I've found! I've been on the hunt for chewy chocolate chip cookies for the longest time and I've finally found it.

I'm happy to have Michael Smith's Chef at Home cookbook as part of my cookbook collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tasty and user friendly recipes Dec 20 2006
By SK
This cook book is very accessible to trained cooks and those people who have less experience in the kitchen but are looking for some inspired recipes. Lobster mac and cheese are among the many great recipes in here, plus his suggestions for using jars for salad dressing and sauces. All of his salads are very tasty and were greeted warmly when I put them out for dinner! Smith encourages his readers to think outside the box and get creative in the kitchen. I think readers will be happy with this purchase as will the loved ones they cook/bake for!

2.0 out of 5 stars Weird brownies...but nice book
Bought this without knowing the author, but I liked the "cooking wihtout a recipe" idea. The recipes are appealing, and the beef stew is actually quite good. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars A little lacking
He's very skilled in the kitchen. I only seek out his recipes when I try something new and am never disappointed. This book was too short. There were not enough recipes. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Ho Hum recipes
Compared to the other cookbooks I presently own, this is one of the most hum drum recipe books I have purchased. Might appeal to someone who is a 'beginner' cook.
